Utah Hockey Club Notes:
Utah has started the season fast, they are the highest-scoring team in the league with 16 goals in three games. However, they have given up 11 goals in those same three games, which is 26th best in the league. Utah will face a high-powered Devils attack that is 2nd in the league (behind Utah) with 14 goals scored in 4 games.
New Jersey Devils Notes:
The Devils have had a strong start to the season; their defense has been especially sound, allowing only 9 goals through 4 games without new addition Brett Pesce and potential young star Luke Hughes. The defense should be even better when these two valuable pieces return to the lineup. The Devils are a complete team who are poised for a deep playoff run.

Players To Watch:
Utah – Clayton Keller, the first captain in Utah Hockey Club history, is their leader and an offensive catalyst for the surprising high-scoring Hockey Club. Keller leads Utah in scoring with 6 points (3 goals and 3 assists) in 3 games.
New Jersey – Paul Cotter has had an excellent start to the 2024-25 season with four goals and an assist in the team’s first 4 games. Cotter’s season high in goals is 13 and he’s already almost a quarter of the way there through only a week of the season. Cotter has been a nice offensive surprise coming from an already deep and talented forward group.
